Sofia walking tour

themoderntraveller, Aug 2025

Our experience with this tour company was truly enjoyable from start to finish. Rumi, our guide for the walking tour of Sofia, arrived right on time and led us through a route that was light, easy to follow, yet still managed to cover all the essential sights. She was not only patient but also highly informative, sharing interesting details at a comfortable pace. Before the tour even began, Hristo was prompt in answering our queries and even suggested alternative options for us to consider. Overall, the company demonstrated professionalism and attentiveness, ensuring we felt supported both before and after the tour.

Easy walking tour

Do this for a basic intro to Sofia. Easy walking for older people and younger children. Rumi is nice and polite.

Above and Beyond!

jenniferhY4515HB, Jun 2025

I contracted with Visit Bulgaria for a private tour of Sofia for my clients. They loved the tour and the city. Beyond the tour, the company went above and beyond to ensure my client's needs were met by purchasing their train tickets for them when they went on sale, ensuring that my clients would have a sleeper on the train. Thank you so much Hristo! Highly recommended.
